But unlike his brothers, he did not enjoy going to sea, so he returned to Chilmark where he found employment as a carpenter. He became an exceptionally fine house joiner and his services were in great demand." In 1807 they moved to Maine and cleared Lot No. 17 on the east side of the Sandy River near Farmington. See pp. 107-117 of A New Vineyard for more on this family.]

He then sailed on the Martha until 1829, when he became first mate on a new cargo ship.) Crew lists describe him as 5' 7" tall with dark hair and a dark complexion. Isaiah appears with Maria in the 1850 Chilmark census as a farmer with children Jonathan R. Hillman (1827); Rebecca Hillman (1830); Love Hillman (1832); Martha P. Hillman (1834); Elizabeth A.

Poole writes ""From this time Gilbert's travels from New Vineyard to Martha's Vineyard were as regular as his whaling voyages permitted." In 1845 he sailed as master of the Smyrna to the Pacific, before joining the Gold Rush to California. He eventually settled down as a farmer in New Vineyard, in a farm where his grandaughter still resided in 1976.]
